cree nation, an indigenous community, but soon more reports came in of victims in the nearby town of weldon. this guy came walking up here and it looked like he had his coat over his face and he said, "i need somebody to take me to the hospital, my mouth has been hurt." he said, "i've been stabbed." the suspects have now been charged with first—degree murder for one of the worst mass killings in ca nada's history. my thoughts and the thoughts of all canadians are with those who have lost loved ones and with those who are injured. this kind of violence or any kind of violence has no place in our country. as the man—hunt extends into another day, officials have asked the community to stay alert for signs of the remaining suspect. as a state of emergency is declared in the province.

azadeh moshiri, bbc news. liz truss will head to the queen's scottish residence in balmoral on tuesday to be asked to form a new government by her majesty. the brief ceremony will bring to an end a lengthy campaign to become the leader of britain's conservative party. her victory overformer chancellor rishi sunak was widely expected but it was not by as large a margin as many had predicted. here's our political editor chris mason. liz truss arrived as foreign secretary and would leave as tomorrow's prime minister — the final act of the contest to replace boris johnson the outcome. inside, an expectant crowd after a long campaign awaits the candidates. rishi sunak and liz truss. and then, the result... i give notice that liz truss is elected as the leader
3:05 am
of the conservative and unionist party. the words to follow her winning, in the hands of her husband, "a clear victory, but not a landslide." thank you for putting your faith in me to lead our great conservative party, the greatest political party on earth. i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long—term issues we have on energy supply. and she concluded with the mantra her campaign began with. we will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver. and we... and we will deliver a great victory for the conservative party in 202a. thank you. elation, smiles, and success, the crowning moment of her political career, liz truss will be prime minister tomorrow, and then confronted
3:06 am
with an in—tray from hell. the question for her party, and for the country, will she be up to it? i think she'll be an absolutely fantastic prime minister, so, yeah, i'm really, really pleased. bluntly, it's a tough time to become prime minister. we have some huge challenges — we have, still, the covid backlog situation to deal with, the economic shocks that we're going through now, in part because of our stance we've taken on ukraine, and many other challenges. what do you say to reviewers who say, "the razzmatazz is all fine, but when are we going to get that deal on energy?", because people are looking at their bills and they�* re frightened 7 looking at her acceptance speech, she wants to get that done and get it done quickly and she said that on the bbc yesterday. so, i think people will see a package of measures she wants to put forward. what next, though,
3:07 am
for the man defeated? the priority has to be to get behind liz truss, our new leader. and she will have my full support as the new conservative government gets on with delivering for the british people. if you're offered a job in her cabinet, would you accept? that's not what i'm focused on. what i can say, liz truss will have my full support as the new government gets on with delivering four people. full support, but you're not willing to serve her? well, these things, a, they're not for me, but secondly, it's not something i'm thinking about. the main opposition parties at westminster are chipper, the liberal democrats revitalised and dominant snp in scotland and labour are ahead in the polls. well, we've heard far more from the latest prime minister about cuts to corporation tax over the summer than we have about the cost of living crisis, the single most important thing that's bearing down on so many millions of households. the uk is in probably the worst and most acute crisis of our lifetimes, so the responsibility on her, because she holds the powers and the resources needed to respond to this
3:08 am
crisis, is huge. no plan to deal with the rising energy bills, the rocketing food bills, the crisis in the nhs, and that's deeply alarming. the challenges ahead — huge. the challenges now — rather more practical. things don't get any bigger at westminster than when the removal vans turn up in downing street. tomorrow, it'll be liz truss's turn, swapping her party headquarters for number 10. ireland's data protection commission has fined the social media company, instagram, more than $400 million over the way it has handled children's personal data. it's the biggest such fine it's ever imposed. instagram's parent company, meta, has told ireland's state broadcaster that instagram has since changed its settings, to keep children safe and their information private. it said it planned to appeal.
3:09 am
technology and social media privacy expertjim anderson talked to us about the significance of the ruling. my first reaction was it seemed like a very steep fine for what was described. we are light on details, the irish regulators said they would release more information but it leads you to believe and i believe this is consistent with eu privacy regulations, they base the fine largely on your ability to pay and not the transgression, so it's not surprising to hear that they plan to appeal this amount. so it's difficult to assess what the transgressions were, is that what you're saying? it is with specificity and one of the other things i know meta is bound to say and instagram, with meta being the parent company, is that this problem was caused in part by instagram's desire to improve things. so recall a year or two back, instagram experimented with and rolling out the idea of hiding the like count, they didn't want instagram to be this competitive "i've got to get
3:10 am
a certain amount of likes to feel good about myself" situation, so particularly for younger people, they've experimented with trying to hide those counts and trying to not make it such a competition. young people being the clever folks they are noticed that business accounts didn't have that same restriction so they took their personal profiles, turned them into a business account, as though they were a business, a doughnut shop or something like that and the privacy settings on a business account, if you own a business page on instagram, you want your phone number and email to be out there because you are trying to sell things. the teenagers didn't think that through and it was a good intention, bad result kind of thing and no doubt facebook will include that in their appeal. that would be meta's argument, that they tried to resolve it but kids will be kids. just about the irish data commission, why then, and they have the power to push this through? they seemingly do. gdpr and broadly the eu privacy regulations have a lot of teeth
3:11 am
so i think they do have the power. meta has a large presence in ireland, all of these things become political at a certain point so you have to imagine, my guess is, they wanted to get the big fine, they wanted to make a big announcement, they want to make an example of meta and instagram. two years from now, by the time the appeals are exhausted, it wouldn't at all surprise me if that was much lower and we've moved on, six controversies since then so i think that's the way things tend to unfold. although never underestimate the potential of an aggressive regulators saying "no, we will hold the line and meta and instagram have the ability to pay this fine and we are going to hold their feet to the fire," and, ultimately, that ends up being litigated. do stay with us here on bbc news, the race is on to protect the crocodiles of cuba, set to be the rarest in the world.

really since the colonial period moving forward, developed sort of maladapted farming systems. moving away from production of food for the local population, production systems that were well adapted to fluctuating rainfall at the behest of the british, the french, and this was reinforced in the postcolonial period, particularly with neoliberal economic reform in the �*80s and 90s, doubling down on crop exports, using industrial methods which are very vulnerable to drought. and so we need to change these farming systems so they are less vulnerable to these low rainfall periods. i vulnerable to these low rainfall periods. vulnerable to these low rainfall eriods. ., , , rainfall periods. i would guess these are _ rainfall periods. i would guess these are the _ rainfall periods. i would guess these are the sorts _ rainfall periods. i would guess these are the sorts of - rainfall periods. i would guess l these are the sorts of messages that african leaders want to put in the ears of western leaders, hence the need to have them at these important summits. they give very much for your time. summits. they give very much foryourtime. my summits. they give very much for your time.— for your time. my pleasure, thank yom _

3:19 am
for example, is the truss administration going to be sending the royal navy through the south china sea as part of these navigation exercises alongside the united states, or even australia, as part of this new aukus arrangement? what will britain do in terms of taiwan? these are the big foreign policy areas where there could be tension. well, they certainly won't be cracking out the champagne in the kremlin at the news that liz truss is the new prime minister. there's no secret really that the current russian leadership does not like liz truss. it does not like her very public strong support for ukraine, it doesn't like her very public and strong opposition to the kremlin, the fact that she's publicly called for vladimir putin to be defeated in ukraine. and it didn't like her when she came to moscow back in february as british foreign secretary, when she came from meeting with sergei
3:20 am
lavrov, the russian foreign minister. to say that meeting was frosty is a bit of an understatement. i watched the press conference afterwards, and it felt as if there was a cold war going on between these two politicians. they clearly didn't like one another, and sergei lavrov said, "the conversation we had was like a deaf person talking "to someone who is mute — "we were listening to each other, but we couldn't "hear one another." i think that will sum up the relationship between russia and the uk now that liz truss is in number ten. the german chancellor has said, "congratulations "on your new role, liz truss, i'm looking forward "to our cooperation." the uk and germany will continue to work closely together as partners in france, says the german chancellor, that will be a key partnership. the president of the european parliament was quick out of the blocks as well,
3:21 am
saying democracies must remain united in standing against autocracy and aggression. of course, one of the major pieces of context around this is the ongoing war in ukraine and cooperation between the west, including between the eu and the uk, but of course, that relationship has been extremely strained in recent times because of post—brexit tensions. liz truss is very much involved in those tensions. she stands down as the foreign secretary now as she becomes the new uk prime minister, but she was the architect of a very controversial piece of legislation to override parts of a post—brexit treaty that dictated trading agreements for northern ireland. so, in many ways here, they don't really expect a major change in approach from the uk government on that ongoing issue. news from around the world
3:22 am
there on liz truss. for the first time since moving to california more than two years ago, the duchess of sussex has spoken at a public event in manchester in the uk. judith moritz reports. as crowds go, this one was well warmed up before the headline act arrived. mc: please welcomej meghan and harry... if the duke and duchess of sussex were hoping for a positive reception, they got it. cheering and applause. young delegates from more than 200 countries watched meghan make herfirst speech in the uk since the couple moved to california. well, good evening, everyone. it is...very nice to be back in the uk. she talked about how parenthood has changed her. i was now married and i was now a mom. seeing the global community through the eyes of my child, and i would ask,
3:23 am
what is this world he would come to adopt and what can we do, what can i do to make it better? i'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me this time... applause. ..to be able to see and witness firsthand my respect for this incredible organisation, for all it provides and accomplishes. this event has been carefully chosen by the duchess of sussex. she has a long connection with the organisation behind it, but it also means she is speaking to an international rather than solely a british audience. security around the event was arranged privately. prince harry is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the home office about his downgrading of his police protection. the couple did get up close and personal with a few of those on stage, including halima aden, a somali american model who was born in a refugee camp. i look up to her as a young black woman myself. i feel she she is paving the way for a lot of young women. and you've got a selfie. and i got my selfie, i'm a happy trouper. she approached me,
3:24 am
so i was like, i've got to shoot my shot. how often do you get to meet prince harry and meghan markle? so i was having a little fangirl moment. i got my selfie in and i'm so happy. the sussexes hopeful similarly warm reception for the rest of the trip. for now, though, the selfie tells the story — smiles all round. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. the cu ban crocodile the cuban crocodile said to be the rarest in the world, only about 4000 of them in the wild and illegal hunting along with climate change is threatening their long—term survival. titus are doing what they could to help protect them as out reporter explains. in the battle to save the crocodiles of cuba, every little victory counts. this baby croc had been taken by poachers but is now being returned to its natural habitat. translation: releasing - crocodiles is really impressive because we return the animal to a free life in the wild.
3:25 am
they face several challenges, illegal hunting and the results of climate change. these are fierce little creatures, but they don't stay little for long. they usually grow to around 2m in length but some can get a lot bigger than that. the fundamental problem is they are native to only two very specific locations in cuba and they don't travel very far, so any threat to their habitat is a threat to them. researchers try to study them in the wild but sometimes they have to take more drastic action. translation: between may and june, cuban crocodiles i make their nests and when that happens, we collect the eggs. it's the most dangerous time and we must be most careful because the cuban crocodile takes great care of its nests, with great passion, and they attack us. the long—term ambition is a thriving community of cuban crocodiles in the wild but for now, some of them have to be studied in captivity.
3:26 am
the threat is real. the desire to protect them, even more so. tim allman, bbc news. they seem to be doing a pretty good job of keeping them going there. that is bbc news, thank you for watching. hello there. so far, the weather for the month of september has been one of contrast. eastern england has stayed dry and quite warm. out to the west, it's been pretty wet at times, and partly responsible is this area of low pressure sitting out in the atlantic. you can see the cloud spiralling in an anticlockwise direction. that's the weather fronts, and they've been kicking in and producing some sharp, thundery downpours. this has been the last few hours, moving in through cornwall, stretching up across wales, pushing into the midlands. now, they're continuing to drift their way steadily northwards, and so they will be sitting towards southern scotland over the next few hours. behind it, slightly quieter.
3:27 am
a little bit of patchy mist and fog. a very warm start to tuesday morning, with temperatures widely into mid—teens. still a relatively quiet start. there will be some dry weather through northern ireland and parts of england and wales first thing, those showers drifting their way northwards through scotland before further sharp showers develop once again into the south—west. blustery winds will drive them further inland. again, not everywhere will see the showers — northern ireland, parts of eastern england escaping them. it will be a little bit fresher generally, but top temperatures still, with the best of the sunshine, at around 24 celsius. that's 75 fahrenheit. now, as we move into wednesday, the area of low pressure is going to just push its way a little bit further eastwards. that means that all of us are at greater risk of seeing more frequent showers, particularly areas where we've not seen too many just recently. there'll be some more persistent rain easing away from northern scotland, and then the showers will develop as we go through the day. very hit—and—miss, but they will rattle through at quite a pace,
3:28 am
some of them still quite hefty. top temperatures of around 15—21 degrees. once again, we might see 23 degrees into east anglia. now, as we move towards the end of the week, that low pressure still has yet to clear, and then we could potentially see this little nose of high pressure building for a time. and what that basically means is out to the east, with the low clearing away, it's going to stay quite showery towards the end of the working week and temperatures perhaps into the low 20s. but the further west, yes, we're likely to start off with showers on thursday, but hopefully something a little bit drier and brighter and, fingers crossed, a little quieter.
